Welcome to the 6th DEMEC conference
We are delighted to be hosting the 6th DEMEC conference of the series taking place from Monday 8 – Tuesday 9 December 2025.
DEMEC this year will run entirely in person and we are introducing a new location for DEMEC – the ICC in Birmingham. With great public transport links and a vast choice of accommodation options in the city, the ICC offers a larger facility with even more parallel session spaces, plenty of space for networking, posters and exhibition.
In the year that the NHS reached 75 years, it has been more obvious than ever before how important education and training is to the provision and future of patient care.
The learning and development of current and future doctors and other healthcare clinicians raises the quality of organisations and improves job satisfaction and retention. Therefore, providing excellence in education and training supports the wellbeing of learners, educators and the NHS itself. This impacts directly on improved patient care.
This is an opportunity to reconnect with friends, to refresh your knowledge and skills and to rediscover your enthusiasm for education and training.
As our programme develops, we look forward to receiving your abstract and/or parallel session submissions (deadline 28 April) and we look forward to welcoming you in person to Birmingham in December.
With warmest wishes.
DEMEC is managed in collaboration by the leading organisations in medical education and training across the UK who are coming together again to provide this unique and high quality joint national UK Medical Education conference.
At a time of change, risks and opportunities, with a recognised need for collaboration across traditional boundaries, this conference has inspired and motivated its audience as a platform for learning and linking participants with experts and peers across the country.
Over 1300 attendees attended the 5th DEMEC hybrid conference in 2023, delivered across 2 days with:
